AB The  pain  of  dysmenorrhea  may  be  experienced  in  the  pelvis,  abdomen  and  lower  back,  or  anterior  thighs.NSAIDs  are  the  first-line  treatment  for  dysmenorrhea.In  a  normal  menstrual  cycle  there  is  an  average  of  5  to  80  mL  of  blood  loss.Abnormal  uterine  bleeding  (AUB)  involves  any  disturbance  in  regularity,  frequency,  duration,  or  volume  of  menstrual  flow.Up  to  20%  of  adolescents  with  dysfunctional  uterine  bleeding  will  have  a  coagulopathy.First  line  treatment  for  AUB  is  medical  management,  with  most  adolescents  responding  to  oral  contraceptive  pills  (OCPs).
